Is Carville really concerned about the future of the GOP?

James Carville writes about the "mistakes" of Republicans in opposing the stimulus monstrosity. I doubt he has the Republican's best interest at heart. He appears to be just continuing the disingenuous arguments of the Democrats for the bad bill. He never really addresses the objections of Republican governors to the unemployment section of the bill. He uses the straw man argument that the oppose extending unemployment compensation.

What they really oppose is the way the Democrats have packaged the deal turning it into an unfunded mandate after two years which will require increased taxes on employers at a time when they are already under financial stress because of the recession. This would lead to additional layoffs and make matters worse. Democrats like Carville ignore this logical argument and rely on demagoguery.
